Vida Wellness, Exercise Classes and Wellbeing Programmes

As featured on BBC Radio 4's Frontiers programme - read more...

Invigorating exercises - strength, balance, flexibility and tai chi.

Led by an inspiring instructor, in a fun and sociable group.

You will feel stronger and more supple, with lots of energy!

You work at your own pace - we can adapt the exercises as required and safety is always a priority. Our instructors are friendly and experienced, and will work with you to ensure you are getting the most out of the exercises.

We always have lots of fun whilst exercising - class members make new friends and leave feeling energised and with a smile on their faces!

We could write pages and pages of information, but we thought you might be more interested in what our class members think. So we asked them to tell you all about their Strong Foundations classes. Click here to read their comments.

Strong Foundations is for you if:

•	You would like to have more energy and stamina on a day to day basis
•	You have stiff joints or perhaps some arthritis
•	You would like to exercise with like-minded people in a sociable group
•	You would like to feel a bit stronger and have more energy - allowing you to do more of things you want to do (gardening, dancing, golf, playing with the grandchildren)

What kinds of people join the Strong Foundations courses?

•	Current class members walk their dogs every day, cycle to the shops, play golf and tennis or are regular Scottish Country dancers.
•	Others sometimes walk with a stick outdoors for security (however can walk some considerable distance and could not be described as frail).
•	Some members have had knee or hip replacements, and find that the exercises help them to regain strength (please complete all relevant rehabilitation after your operation, and check with your doctor before joining a course).
•	Some members have back pain or other joint pain, often caused by arthritis, and know that by strengthening and mobilising their joints, they can reduce pain and improve their wellbeing.
•	Our members are all keen to increase their strength and have more energy, so that they can carry on doing all the activities they enjoy, more comfortably and with less aches and pains.
•	Participants find that the strength and balance activities translate well into their other activities, eg. the Scottish Country dancer has less pain in her knees and feels that her legs are much stronger when she is dancing.
